The headline talked about using Dojo but the tutorial is 100% Sinatra and ROR. Is Dojo used in other tutorials or is the word Dojo just used because it is in the URL. The layout make it appear as if it is associated with the Dojo toolkit. I understand that Sinatra and ROR can be used with Dojo, but I feel the title and branding is misleading based on the fact that the tutorial contained no Dojo in it.
- kls 15y agoI don't know why I was downvoted the title says Use Dojo to learn, build, and deploy web apps. Some assume Dojo to be the Dojo Toolkit which can be used with Sinatra and ROR. Given that I am not a ROR developer I was confused as to why there was no Dojo involved.
- mrcharles 15y agoI'm not even a web developer, I just read HN a lot, and even I thought it was strange.
- duck 15y agoA coding dojo is a way to improve your skills and has nothing to do with any particular language or framework - see http://codingdojo.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?WhatIsCodingDojo http://codingdojo.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?WhatIsCodingDojo.
- kls 15y agoThank you, I have not hear the term used for that, most of the developers I associate with associate Dojo with the toolkit. Thank you for the info, and I apologize for the misunderstanding.
- rhizome 15y agoPeople (like me, too) are going to assume Dojo the framework over dojo-the-special-kind-of-room when there is no article (a/an/the) used. Capitalization makes a difference in the English language.
- simonw 15y agoI had the same confusion - I thought it was talking about http://dojotoolkit.org/ http://dojotoolkit.org/
- choxi 15y agoSorry about the confusion, it's totally unrelated to Dojo Toolkit
- kls 15y agoNo need to apologize, I just assumed from past references that it was in reference to the toolkit. Give the definition that was provided below, it makes sense, you may want to consider differentiating the logo and the header of the site a little so that you do distinguish yourself from the toolkit or you may deal with similar assumptions in the future.
- anm8tr 15y agoI would recommend using The Dojo or The DojoApp. The DojoApp is probably better as The Dojo is still not only competing with the toolkit but also with hundreds of karate sites.
